One other thing to mention is that I have a one-line modification in the pulseaudio configuration:
--- analog-output-speaker.conf 2019-03-01 21:10:29.369583080 -0800 +++ analog-output-speaker.conf 2019-03-01 21:08:36.091753082 -0800 @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ ; else there will be a spike when plugging in headphones [Element Headphone] switch = off -volume = off +volume = merge [Element Headphone2] switch = off Without it, plugging/unplugging a headphone into the audio jack causes the volume to be set to 0. The idea for the fix picked from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MSI_GE63VR description, but instead of [Element Speaker] I had to modify [Element Headphone]. This fix worked since I first installed Kubuntu 18.10 on this laptop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903903 Title: "Analog Stereo Duplex" profile keeps disappearing Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After every reboot, the profile named "Analog Stereo Duplex" keeps disappearing on my laptop; only "Analog Stereo Input" and "Analog Stereo Output" are present. Without "duplex", I cannot use both the built-in microphone and the speakers/headphones at the same time. A workaround I found is to remove the user's configuration for pulseaudio and restart it: rm -rf .config/pulse pulseaudio -k This brings the "Analog Stereo Duplex" profile back until the next reboot. This problem started after an upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10. I made a screencast of this: https://youtu.be/Vlz5471EYVQ The laptop is MSI WE73-8SK.
